Heists are one of the biggest things people are waiting for. I would suspect that R* is delaying the release of Heists so it can drop around the same time some of those other big games are set to release, in order to keep people playing GTA:O. I suspect that Watch Dogs will take a big chunk of GTA players offline for a while, R* will need something to bring them back.

With all the hackers/glitchers/godder/modders (aka cheaters) currently ruining the Online game, I would be surprised this game comes to PC within the next year. If you think online cheating is bad now, just wait till the PC version goes live. I am not saying it wont come out, just that if it does come out within the next year I will be surprised.

As for next gen. R* should already have announced the title coming to next gen, with the added bonus of carry over. Playstation 3 and 4 can and should share servers (allow gameplay together between PS3 and PS4), yes it can be (and has been - Final Fantasy XIV) done. The same goes for XBox 360 and XB1, although I am not aware of any current XBox title that does this. Since they have not announced a next gen release, that I know of, I am wondering if they are planning on changing something or including something for a later release (Fall 2014).

Remember, all the Business content will continue to remain available to obtain in-game indefinitely and can be kept for good upon in-game purchase.

Stay tuned as we’ll have more news soon about the next update for GTA Online, as well as news about more in-game rewards and bonuses, Event Weekends, Snapmatic competitions and Crew versus Crew battles.

Try 2 months with Polyphony Digital and GT6. That game is still so broken and boring it's not even funny. All this hype about Senna, a GPS course creator, Vision Gran Turismo, monthly updates and they've stopped already and haven't said a thing in 2 months.

I was pensive to open up this thread for fear that it would heavily "discuss" either heists or cash cards. Low and behold it's both. I am such a fool.

But as was stated before...this is what they do, lay low and drop minor tidbits of news, hey look at these crews...hey look at this art...and BOOM. New DLC pack. Personally, I like the surprise. I'm one of the rare breed on this forum who's willing to wait for whatever they drop and enjoy what it is I've got. Not as if GTAO is the only game to play now anyway.

I enjoy modders, nice ones, mind you, that places ramps and cars for you and are generally friendly. Those are great.
The ones that mod/glitch for their own fun and ruin the game for others are f*cking annoying. I honestly can't wait for the day where everyone uses the report button on every asshole modder/glitcher we find on GTA and R* removes all of them from the game. A far-fetched dream but honestly these f*cktards are the main cause R* is having so many issues. Yeah, yeah, they help R* make a more stable game by finding exploits but in most cases all they want is more money. They already have millions and billions, how much money you want more? Most expensive thing in the game is a few mill. Come on, this is getting stupid.

Thinking on it, I've never seen a more corrupted economy in any game. GTA:O could of been an impressive MMO/Open-world freeroamer if everyone acted civilized. It's still impressive....but less. The full potential isn't there. Man, people are dicks.

Sad isn't it?

So much wasted potential with glitchers and the huge holes R* left in the game. Blame lies on both sides.

I genuinely believe that around Easter they'll release an update containing themed items, as well as heists.

This is not in reference to any comments or sources, I'm just using my own imagination to predict an outcome considering this will be the 12th update, as well as other hotfixes, many people are getting bored and the "Business Update" may just be an introduction for what's to come, with the "Dangerous Business" update.

In the last update they added the House/ Apartment name and address to the quick GPS. This gives me the idea that there'll be more than one property available for purchase. And by property, I'm including that hopefully garages will be seen separately to accommodation.

Chances are though, with RS being the way they are, heists/ these features will likely be coming in 2016.

And a friend of mine speculated that Rockstar simply could not charge anyone for any Online-based DLC/ extra content, unless this content was optional. (Ie with the others we've had, they've often been part of an update that fixes issues/ adds new features).

People have already paid for the game and have already been playing the Online part of it. To say "we're charging for this next update which is required to continue playing GTAO" would cause an outrage.

They probably just patch in all the content and if you want to unlock it, you need to pay for it. If they really wanted to.

They are working really hard on that announcement about the announcement of heists.

Heist is basically done... Jesus... Do you think they really dare to advertise without have the feature at least in Beta? I mean, what they did by not putting Heist in during first release is already stupid.

Don`t be silly. Heists were advertised in the first trailer, in August, only to be announced not to be in the final game with FIVE days before it actually launched. So, you see, they already did it once.

You know what else they dared do? Take 100% legitimate cars out of player`s garages, while people still have cheated SP to MP cars TODAY.

it's been almost 3 weeks since the business update came out. when do you think theyll at least announce their next patch and dlc pack? cuz right now the game still feels bland and boring and the freezing is unbearable. 2 guns, 3 cars, and new clothes can only keep you entertained for so long lol.

whats up bro, lets keep having fun in free roam while we wait for cockstar to release some new stuff.
